commit 9803387c55f7d2ce69aa64340c5fdc6b3027dbc8 upstream.

Instead of setting s_want_extra_size and then making sure that it is a
valid value afterwards, validate the field before we set it.  This
avoids races and other problems when remounting the file system.

commit 109ba779d6cca2d519c5dd624a3276d03e21948e upstream.

ext4_check_dir_entry() currently does not catch a case when a directory
entry ends so close to the block end that the header of the next
directory entry would not fit in the remaining space. This can lead to
directory iteration code trying to access address beyond end of current
buffer head leading to oops.

commit 64d4ce892383b2ad6d782e080d25502f91bf2a38 upstream.

Function ext4_empty_dir() doesn't correctly handle directories with
holes and crashes on bh-&gt;b_data dereference when bh is NULL. Reorganize
the loop to use 'offset' variable all the times instead of comparing
pointers to current direntry with bh-&gt;b_data pointer. Also add more
strict checking of '.' and '..' directory entries to avoid entering loop
in possibly invalid state on corrupted filesystems.

commit f4c2d372b89a1e504ebb7b7eb3e29b8306479366 upstream.

Commit 8fcc3a580651 ("ext4: rework reserved cluster accounting when
invalidating pages") moved freeing of delayed allocation reservations
from dirty page invalidation time to time when we evict corresponding
status extent from extent status tree. For inodes which don't have any
blocks allocated this may actually happen only in ext4_clear_blocks()
which is after we've dropped references to quota structures from the
inode. Thus reservation of quota leaked. Fix the problem by clearing
quota information from the inode only after evicting extent status tree
in ext4_clear_inode().

commit 565333a1554d704789e74205989305c811fd9c7a upstream.

No need to wait for any commit once the page is fully truncated.
Besides, it may confuse e.g. concurrent ext4_writepage() with the page
still be dirty (will be cleared by truncate_pagecache() in
ext4_setattr()) but buffers has been freed; and then trigger a bug
show as below:

Run the procedure (generate by syzkaller) parallel with ext3.

void main()
{
	int fd, fd1, ret;
	void *addr;
	size_t length = 4096;
	int flags;
	off_t offset = 0;
	char *str = "12345";

	fd = open("a", O_RDWR | O_CREAT);
	assert(fd &gt;= 0);

	/* Truncate to 4k */
	ret = ftruncate(fd, length);
	assert(ret == 0);

	/* Journal data mode */
	flags = 0xc00f;
	ret = ioctl(fd, _IOW('f', 2, long), &amp;flags);
	assert(ret == 0);

	/* Truncate to 0 */
	fd1 = open("a", O_TRUNC | O_NOATIME);
	assert(fd1 &gt;= 0);

	addr = mmap(NULL, length, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ,
					MAP_SHARED, fd, offset);
	assert(addr != (void *)-1);

	memcpy(addr, str, 5);
	mbind(addr, length, 0, 0, 0, MPOL_MF_MOVE);
}

And the bug will be triggered once we seen the below order.

reproduce1                         reproduce2

...                            |   ...

truncate_pagecache(clean dirty)|   ...
...                            |

mbind will call ext4_writepage() since the page still be dirty, and then
report the bug since the buffers has been free. Fix it by return
directly once offset equals to 0 which means the page has been fully
truncated.

<title>ext4: work around deleting a file with i_nlink == 0 safely</title>

commit c7df4a1ecb8579838ec8c56b2bb6a6716e974f37 upstream.

If the file system is corrupted such that a file's i_links_count is
too small, then it's possible that when unlinking that file, i_nlink
will already be zero.  Previously we were working around this kind of
corruption by forcing i_nlink to one; but we were doing this before
trying to delete the directory entry --- and if the file system is
corrupted enough that ext4_delete_entry() fails, then we exit with
i_nlink elevated, and this causes the orphan inode list handling to be
FUBAR'ed, such that when we unmount the file system, the orphan inode
list can get corrupted.

A better way to fix this is to simply skip trying to call drop_nlink()
if i_nlink is already zero, thus moving the check to the place where
it makes the most sense.

commit c7df4a1ecb8579838ec8c56b2bb6a6716e974f37 upstream.

If the file system is corrupted such that a file's i_links_count is
too small, then it's possible that when unlinking that file, i_nlink
will already be zero.  Previously we were working around this kind of
corruption by forcing i_nlink to one; but we were doing this before
trying to delete the directory entry --- and if the file system is
corrupted enough that ext4_delete_entry() fails, then we exit with
i_nlink elevated, and this causes the orphan inode list handling to be
FUBAR'ed, such that when we unmount the file system, the orphan inode
list can get corrupted.

A better way to fix this is to simply skip trying to call drop_nlink()
if i_nlink is already zero, thus moving the check to the place where
it makes the most sense.

<title>ext4: Fix credit estimate for final inode freeing</title>

commit 65db869c754e7c271691dd5feabf884347e694f5 upstream.

Estimate for the number of credits needed for final freeing of inode in
ext4_evict_inode() was to small. We may modify 4 blocks (inode &amp; sb for
orphan deletion, bitmap &amp; group descriptor for inode freeing) and not
just 3.

[ Fixed minor whitespace nit. -- TYT ]

<title>ext4: add more paranoia checking in ext4_expand_extra_isize handling</title>

commit 4ea99936a1630f51fc3a2d61a58ec4a1c4b7d55a upstream.

It's possible to specify a non-zero s_want_extra_isize via debugging
option, and this can cause bad things(tm) to happen when using a file
system with an inode size of 128 bytes.

Add better checking when the file system is mounted, as well as when
we are actually doing the trying to do the inode expansion.

<title>Merge branch 'entropy'</title>

Merge active entropy generation updates.

This is admittedly partly "for discussion".  We need to have a way
forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.

While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.

The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing.  This
is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
reasonably complex loads.

We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
should be at least a reasonable starting point.

As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
entropy.
